>From the README: | A. PROJECT PAX | ============== | | If PDF files are included using pdfTeX, PDF annotations | are stripped. This project tries a solution without | altering pdfTeX. A Java program (pax.jar) parses the PDF file that | will later be included. It writes the data of the annotations | in a file that can be read by TeX. Then a LaTeX package (pax.sty) | extends the graphics package. If a PDF file is included, the package | looks for the file with the annotation data, reads them and puts | the annotations in the right place. | | Project status: experimental
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

pax – Extract and reinsert PDF annotations with pdfTeX
If PDF files are included using pdfTeX, PDF annotations are stripped. The pax project offers a solution without altering pdfTeX. A Java program (pax.jar) parses the PDF file that will later be included. The program then writes the data of the annotations into a file that can be read by TeX.
The LaTeX package pax extends the graphics package to support the scheme: if a PDF file is included, the package looks for the file with the annotation data, reads them and puts the annotations in the right place.
